SUMMARY:Our Journeys: 50 Years After the Fall\, a traveling exhibition - Opening Preview & Celebration
DESCRIPTION:NJCH grantee Vietnamese Boat People (VBP) is honored to present Our Journeys: 50 Years After the Fall\, a traveling exhibition debuting in New York City in September 2025 at Think!Chinatown’s Studio. \nOur Journeys is a curated multimedia experience\, inspired by the interviews and content generated by the Vietnamese Boat People podcast and programs. It is developed around the core concept that a story passed down is a gift—something given to another with intention and without obligation. For a community whose stories have often been told by others\, this exhibit centers the voices of the Vietnamese diaspora\, reclaiming the narrative through personal stories\, photographs\, multimedia displays\, and video essays. Visitors will be immersed in the resilience\, legacy\, and diversity of our community’s lived experiences. \nExhibition Preview | 2:30–4:00 PM\nThink!Chinatown Studios | 1 Pike Street\, NYC\nReception | 4:00–6:00 PM\nDCTV | 87 Lafayette Street\, NYC \nExhibition: September 7 to 28\, 2025 \nFind more information about the exhibit at https://givebutter.com/VBP_OurJourneys.

SUMMARY:James Forten of Philadelphia: Black Patriot & Privateer of the Revolutionary War
DESCRIPTION:NJCH is proud to sponsor this living history event presented by the Wallace House and Old Dutch Parsonage Association\, Proud Partner of Revolution NJ\, and the Heritage Trail Association. \nJames Forten of Philadelphia\, a child at the outbreak of the Revolutionary War\, served the American Revolution as a teenage privateer and Patriot. Following the American Revolution\, this “Gentleman of Color” took up sailmaking\, establishing himself as a leading businessman in the early American republic’s principal port. A free Black American\, James Forten fought for the abolition of slavery and rights of African Americans in the United States he helped to forge. \nKeith Henley of American Historical Theatre portrays James Forten. \nThe life of James Forten offers a Black perspective on the waterfront and maritime world of ships and sails of which Scottish emigrant and Philadelphia merchant John Wallace was a part before the construction of the Wallace House 250 years ago. \nThe Heritage Trail Association hosts this program at the historic Van Horne House. \n250 years after Scottish emigrant and Philadelphia merchant John Wallace built the Wallace House at Hope Farm\, the Wallace House is under construction again as part of Down the Brook: The Revitalization of Wallace House & Old Dutch Parsonage State Historic Sites for Revolution NJ. The historic rehabilitation of Wallace House is being supported in part by a Semiquincentennial Grant from the Historic Preservation Fund administered by the National Park Service\, U.S. Department of the Interior. \nRevolution NJ is New Jersey’s official observance of the 250th anniversaries of New Jersey’s first Constitution July 2\, 2026 and the American Revolution in New Jersey from 2024 – 2033.
